Some other tips are to tighten your muscles and release little by little, starting with your toes, then your feet, then your ankles, etc. You can also try visualization techniques of something simple, like the beach. I even take this one to another level by thinking of only one syllable words describing everything about the beach. Sea. Sand. Sun. Sky. Waves. Gulls. Wind. Surf. Shell. Blue. Foam. Spray. Rocks. Boats. Pier. Kids. (Okay don't think of kids if that makes you stressed, but you get the idea). Like I mentioned in Monday's blog post, matching your breathing to the rhythm of the ocean waves helps, whether you are listening to an ocean wave audio or just imagining ocean waves and breathing in rhythm.
